“Are you not cold?”
“Mm-mm. I be so hot from Danna-sama that I could get burned.”
“Oh my God…you are such a character.”
He embraced Kohaku’s small body under the moonlight. She said that she could get burned, but if anything, her body temperature made him feel like he was burning. Not only that, but their feelings were burning hot. Large droplets of bullet-like sweat dripped down from her bangs, falling onto Taiyou’s collar.
“The moon be beautiful this night.”
“Yeah, well I can’t see it.”
“Heeey, Danna-sama.”
“What?”
“I love ye.”
“Yes, I know.”
“More than anyone else in the world, ja.”
“I know that too.”
“Yer the first one I ever loved.”
“Now that’s something new.”
Taiyou was astonished. He never had any inclination of prying into her past, so he had never had such a conversation with her.
It would be crazy to have nothing happen in over 80 years of life. She had told him before that he was the first person that she offered her everything to, but Taiyou hadn’t thought that it also included love. Assuming that she had been through a lot only made this revelation more shocking.
“Indeed, I just decided that now.”
So that was what she meant…He smiled wryly.
“Indeed. I have just determined where love truly started for me, ja. And doing that has helped me find out that Danna-sama is the clear winner for first love, ja!”
“Well, I am truly honored for you to say that.”
He didn’t make any exaggerated response, thinking it to be insensitive.
“To think that I was able to be your first love…I must be the happiest man on earth.”
“Then I be wanting ye to do ye best, Danna-sama. Make this love bear fruit and carry it out for the rest of ye life.”
“You can count on me.”
He tightly hugged Kohaku. Their two naked bodies pressed together. The evening wind in the fall was chilly on their skin to be sure, but they paid it no heed. Suddenly, Taiyou remembered something, getting up.
“Mm! I don’t want ye to go, ja!”
Kohaku said, half-pouting.
“I’m not going anywhere. There’s something that I need to get.”
“And what be that?”
“Wait a moment—-Here, it’s this.”
Taiyou took out a ring case from his discarded clothing, holding it out to Kohaku.
“This is for you.”
“…Oho, for the triplets and then Youran, I see.”
Kohaku said after some momentary surprise. Taiyou was shocked.
“You heard already?”
“Nay, it was just that those two have been rather merry as of late and I was wondering as to why. It seems that my question has been answered.”
“Well, it’s great and all that it’s been answered, but could you maybe be a little more surprised?”
“I am surprised, ja.”
Kohaku took Taiyou’s hand, pressing it against her chest. With no particular undulation to speak of, it was easy for his palm to directly feel her heartbeat.
Dokun dokun dokun dokun—-.
He could clearly tell that Kohaku’s chest was reaching a high frequency beat.
“What do ye think?”
“You got me there! Your face just looked so normal.”
“Comes with the years, lad.”
“So will you take it?”
“…Gladly.”
Kohaku softly outstretched her hand. Taiyou opened the case, taking the ring out and slipping it through her dainty ring finger. This was a ring made specifically to fit Kohaku, smallest amongst all the brides and a childlike size that would normally be unthinkable, but there it fit snugly onto her finger.
“I shall treasure this, ja.”
“For what it’s worth, this is an engagement ring. Once I’ve gathered all the brides, I fully intend to exchange them for wedding rings, okay?”
“All of them, eh.”
“Yes, all of them.”
“Then ye’d best find another one quickly, lad.”
“Not to mention my level as well. I’ve been doing it infrequently, but it still isn’t enough to catch up to Shirokiyami.”
“Yer level be…24, eh? Ye went up a considerable amount, ja.”
“Yes, that’s because I’ve been doing it little by little whenever I have the time.”
“How about ye confine yerself to a mountain for some training? Ye can leave the house to us.”
“Well, there might be some sort of level that I can’t reach without being in the city, so mountain training is probably out of the question.”
“Then maybe confine yerself to yer room.”
“I struggle to comprehend why you think that’s the next logical step.”
“How would ye like to confine yerself inside of me, then?”
“Are you trying to make a dirty joke!?”
“And I shall birth ye out from me clothes.”
“By this point I no longer understand what you’re saying.”
Although he said it that way, it was clear that Taiyou was enjoying this exchange; sometimes understanding her and not understanding her at other times; sometimes holding a conversation but not able to hold a conversation at other times. This was very much akin to her nature, and Taiyou liked it.
“Today be a fine day, ja. Not just our late-night date, but receiving something as amazing as this too!”
Kohaku spread out her hands and began spinning around in a dance. Perhaps she was quite happy, since she continued to twirl around and around on the spot.
“Is someone there?”
Light accompanied by a voice illuminated them. It was so dazzling that it took them a few seconds to realize it was a flashlight. It took them a few more seconds to recognize who was looking at them.
“You kids—-”
Their astonished visitor so happened to be the young police officer they had met earlier. His eyes opened wide, he stared at them.
“What are you doing in a place like this?”
“Kohaku-san!”
First, Taiyou pulled Kohaku’s hand, hiding her behind him before glaring at the policeman.
“Was that what I think it was?”
“…”
Taiyou furtively raced through his thoughts. It wasn’t like he had to defend what they were doing, but sheesh, what a predicament. He really wanted to figure out a way to escape. However, the police officer approached before he could wrap up his thoughts.
“Now just wait a—-”
But he had fallen with a thud in the middle of making his way over.
“Now what?”
Taiyou was shocked, but once he looked more closely, he saw the familiar face of another constable. He crouched quickly.
“Miyashita? Hey, what the heck is wrong, Miyashita?”
At least he sounded concerned for his colleague, but he was tightly gripping a baton in his hand. What made it more obvious was just how satirical he sounded.
“Honestly, I even told you to stop playing so many games late at night, kid. Damn you’re hopeless.”
He said as he lifted up the younger colleague and went off, his eyes never meeting with Taiyou or Kohaku.
“Pfft, ahahahaha!”
“Haha…”
“I feel a bit sorry for him, ja. Mayhaps I will apologize sometime soon.”
“I’ll come with you. Also, you can put your clothes back on now. Let’s go back. Any more casualties and even we might get in trouble.”
“Aye.”
Kohaku picked up the discarded clothing, slipping it back on. After that, the two of them linked arms and returned home while having a nice long pillow talk.
